The car will be a driver/occasional use track car...and getting ready, eventually, to run it in the 2015 One Lap of America. Here is the caveat...It is "unofficially" my wife's summer fun car, so I made a promise to her that other than the exhaust, she will barely notice any changes..to which she agreed, as long as the exhaust isn't TOO loud.

So I will be doing some upgrades in stages, and I don't want to purchase anything that is going to become useless later.

So what I'm looking for is feedback on my plan of attack. I would prefer people who KNOW their stuff..ie, no "I like this exhaust because it sounds better". NOTE, I also race Spec Miata, many years of Solo and Prosolo, WKA karting...blah blah blah...I'm not a novice.

So enough with the intro..here is my plan:

This Winter:

Oil cooler (FI new kit)
CJM Fuel Pump
Stillen Brake Ducting
Stillen G3 intakes
Stillen CBE
FI Resonated HFC
Uprev Tune

Then:

Front and Rear Whitelines Swaybars
SPL Endlinks
Robitech Harness Bar
Diff Cooler cover (until I get a quaife)

By next year:

18x10 square setup Forgestar wheels
Bilstein Coilovers
SPL camberarms? (still researching these)

Eventually a Quaife Diff...

Let the feedback, and discussion, begin. And thanks for your help!

A few things:

1) If I recall correctly there are better CBE's from a performance standpoint. Fast Intentions would be a good one.

2) You might want to make sure you can actually get the Robispec harness bar. I know people have been claiming they can't contact Robi.

3) Also, I don't see race seats on your list. I assume you'll be getting harnesses since you're getting a harness bar which means you'll need proper seats to use the harnesses.

4) Also might want to plan on having to change the clutch slave cylinder to the Z Speed cylinder at some point. The stock cylinder is prone to failure when the car is used aggressively.
